The Rutland Herald announces that
''the marble mill owned and lately OPP
Grated by the Center Rutland Marble
company at Rutland Valley has been
leased by them to Messrs. F. w. Smith
& Co., who were lately burned out at
Turner's Falls, near Middlebury." This
lease, as we understand it, decides that
Messrs. Smith & Co. will not rebuild at
Beldens Falls mot Turner's), but will
carry on their business at Rutland Val
ley, which is a flag station on the Rut-
land road about two miles this side of
Center Rutland.
The December term of the county court
will open next Tuesday. Though the
jury calendar, already published, does not
indicate a large amount of work to be
done, the members of the legal fraternity
are of the opinion that one thing and an
other will keep the court in session for
some time. In the criminal line the!prin-
cipal cases will probably be those of
Broderick, the Panton man accused of
stealing lap-robes, whips, ETC., and Con-
nor, the vergennes man, who is in Gus
tody on the charge of assault at Vergen-
mes last summer. Both these persons
want to be tried at the coming term rath-
er than wait for session Of the grand
jury.
"The Signal of the current month will
say relative to the choral society of
which we spoke last week: at is now
definitely settled as to the character and
prices of the singing classes to be con-
Quoted by Mr.. G.. S. Cornell. The cost
of 20 lessons in the chorus, which will
take up moderately advanced music, will
be Sl.50. There will also be class in
elementary singing, into which any who
wish to study the rudements may come
by the payment of 81 for the term.
Members of the chorus my enter this
class without additional charge. 1t is
hoped that all who wish to avail them
selves of this unusual opportunity to
study music under a good instructor will
do so at once"
